My wedge is as original as Triggers Broom!!!
Discussion
I got ma 400SE for my bday in jan/feb this year and I wanted to see what I'd done and spent so far.. Well, I should have stuck to the list of items completed but I shouldn't have counted the pennies.. Put it this way if SHE find out what I've spent I'm out on ma AR£E!
But the car looks s
t hot, after it's full body resto and paint including new rear spoiler and front bib spoiler (just before I bought it). It now goes like a scalded cat and handles and steers like a proper man size go kart...
As I say, it's as original as Triggers Broom, well that's an over exaggeration but it's now a bobby dazzler of an Auld Bus!!!!
A wee taster, oh dam I need road tax at the end of the month, as I do intend to use it when cold, not cold n snowy but on cold days off when the weather permits..
Get a new hood
New Master Cylinder
New Slave Cylinder
Newly refurbished power steering rack (just done)
Tracking
New top steering joint
New Track rod ends
New Drop links
New Anti-roll bar bushes (26mm)
New reverse light switch
New Gearbox/Diff/Engine oils and engine filter - sept 2012 @ 51150miles
New Spark Plugs
New Magnecore Plug Leads/Rotor Arm/Cap for the original Dizzy (then found it was fooked)
New Coil
New Distributor and Amplifier and associated parts
Replacement/Spare ECU
Replacement/Spare AFM 3AM
New Stepper Motor
New Vacuum Tubing
New Fuel Temp Sensor (fuel rail)
New Fuel Pump/Filter and Pre-Filter and Fuel Treatment

New ipod Stereo
But like I say, it now goes and steers like it aut too!!!!
I need to focus my pennies else where now, Thunderpants has had too much attention over the past months.

Si, told you before it's the monkey's nuts, on the Rusty Run it ran with no problem's approx 200 miles. Even though you've spent a bit of money on the car it's now looking and running superb. In my case when i bought the 390SE i had the roof and seats to cough up for which was a fair bit now i'm over the moon with her same as you.
Nice photo's.

cheers

Richard, shame John and yourself couldnt make the Rusty, there were a couple of Tuscans there for the weekend blast.. I think they were under the illusion it was going to be a gentle drive, sadly they were wrong as we all ended up stretching the legs of the old Wedges around the Borders, meaning the Tuscans had to keep up.. Which im sure was easy!!!!cheers
Richard
Maybe next time..

I had it on my calendar Si and had actually contacted Jonny some time ago to confirm it would be ok to pitch up, unfortunately on the day I couldn't make which was gutting given it was sort of on the door step. Maybe next time..

Your new car looks stunning, to be fair though I thought the last one you had also looked good (I always have a quick check of your driveway when I'm visiting my mums).
There's a fairly large number of TVR's in Edinburgh and the Lothians just now - a blast before the weather really turns should be arranged pronto; If i get round to sorting something I'll keep you in the loop.
Cheers

Dickie, just let me know.. I'm days next week so you'll no doubt see it in the works carpark..
So you and John both got Tuscans now, he mail me a piccie of his red one.. Nice, he did saw it needed a few things done.. Theres a bloke at Ninemile burn who's just bought a 2002 Tuscan with 9k on the clock. He came on the run and it's very very nice... Too pampered I'd say but nice.. It's the like blue one in the Rusty piccies..
Keep me in the loop if a runs sorted.

The pic was a Photoshop back in about 2001/2; there used to be a website called Stupid Northern Monkey (which became Barryboys.co.uk) and they wanted pics of chavved up motas so I thought I'd oblige. You'd be amazed at how many people missed that it was just a doctored pic, even with the boot hanging over the WagonR in the background. There was quite a long thread about it on SNM for a while.I dig the pic out every once in a while for a titter

Well it does say pie on 'ere on the sills, and it can't me Minced beef and onion (the chimp pie)
A couple of mates and I did one of those banger rallies (H2R) back in 2008, I was all for having some fake stickers made up like the 'shopping lists' that you see on the blingboxes... I had 'Poo in ere' as one of them Also had 'Spacks' and a few others that I forget for the moment, all done in the proper fonts. It would have cost more than we paid for the car to have the stickers made, however

A very lucky man that is.
